Hi Tristan Whitefang! I have had the pleasure of speaking to your mom, a very talented artist, a few times. Glad she invited you here and hope you enjoy all the fellowship, fun and music from here on! See ye around!

Hi all... I'm new to this site... just wanted to say... I love the music.. I am Canadian and I just visited Scotland for the first time this past summer... I can't wait to return! I left my heart in the highlands!!

Hello to all the new folks here, I am new myself but agree that this is one of the best places I've ever been to!

Athbhlianin faoi mhaise duit! ('Happy New Year!')

"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost;The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost.From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring;Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king..."

Where now the horse and the rider? Where is the horn that was blowing?Where is the helm and the hauberk, and the bright hair flowing?Where is the hand on the harpstring, and the red fire glowing?Where is the spring and the harvest and the tall corn growing?They have passed like rain on the mountain, like a wind in the meadowThe days have gone down in the West behind the hills into shadowWho shall gather the smoke of the dead wood burningOr behold the flowing years from the Sea returning? ~ J.R.R. Tolkien
